The Cat Box is back! February 22nd (Nijuninichi) is celebrated in Japan as Nyan Nyan Nyan Day—because “nyan”(nian) is the sound of a cat’s meow, and “ni” means “two.” On this special day, a delightful variety of cats are gathered together in one box.
Cats are known to calm the nervous system and even help lower blood pressure, so why not enjoy their soothing presence? Explore the collection, discover different cats, and maybe even spot one that reminds you of your own.
Take a moment to relax, unwind, and feel as carefree as a cat.
A large selection of cat stickers with 4 different facial expressions making for a myriad of combinations. The paper is thin so it doesn’t bulk up your planner much, and is great for expressing how you feel about your appointments.
The cats come in happy, angry, neutral and crying expressions, and you can of course draw bodies on them to add context to their feelings, or simply enjoy them as they are. |  |

Katakata is a design studio run by Matsunaga Takeshi and Takai Chie who makes their designs through various printing processes like stencils, printing and their signature chusen technique.
Inspired by the natural world around them, this generous 10 meter long large washi tape features a variety of cats which seem relaxed and disinterested in the fact that their design origin is so meticulously and lovingly hand made. |  |

No, the cat did not get to your notebook, this is the shape it comes in, cute right? The unique format is designed to peek up from your pocket to pique curiosity and conversation.The design was originally made with stencil dying on washi paper.
This product is a collaboration with a paper manufacturer “シイング Shi-ing” from Mino in Gifu prefecture who specializes in washi paper, and Katakata with their dye and design skills. |  |

This fan favorite ink pad is a staple amongst Japanese stationery enthusiasts. A tried and true product that has remained relevant through improving over the years since its launch in 1982.
The ink is fade resistant so the color you stamp is the one you’re going to get, in this case, a warm golden pigment of oil based ink, excellent for accents and detail. |  |

An incredible little tool that will allow you to carry multiple stamps in a small space! This acrylic base pairs with the rubber like BGM stamps you’ll also find in this box. Peel them off like stickers, and use the base to direct where you want to stamp.
The transparent nature means you’re guaranteed to stamp the right place and gives full freedom to ink the whole or only part of the stamp. You can even mix and match if you have other stamp pads! |  |

The Zebra mildliners have been a regular in ZenPop boxes for years and this time we’re including the dual tip versions of mild mimosa, cool-gray and honey-orange. These versatile markers are excellent both as organizing tools and illustrations.
We chose these 3 colors so you can easily color in a Calico cat or any other type you can conjure with these combinations. The dual tip makes for more freedom in how you apply the ink. |  |

You get one of two large clear tapes with adorable cat motifs. These tapes are semi transparent so they can be used in creative ways when playing with the background, as well as margins, borders and other decor.
One design features stamp style pictures of cats being cats, and are easy to cut for use. The other features “weird cats” doing weird stuff, to add extra whimsy to your creations. |  |
|---|---|
As an innovative design twist, these sticky notes have their adhesive glue on the feet of the cat, creating an illusion of the cat design standing wherever you stick it. And just like cats, these stickies can climb anywhere!
The design is by Miyuki Matasuo who specializes in capturing the charm in the ordinary through lived experiences and physical media. The cats come paired with their own matching flowers and colors. |  |

An all in one solution for your stamping needs! These acrylic stamps are flexible like rubber stickers and attach to the pad that you will have received in this box. Mix, match and play with inks to create all sorts of feline antics in your planner!
The transparency makes it easy to land exactly where you need them too, and even opens up the option to stamp 2 designs in one press. And who knows, more designs may show up in the ZenPop store someday… |  |
